Arsenal powered seven points clear at the top of the Premier League after
beating Leeds 4-0 on Saturday.
Mikel Arteta's team ended a three-game winless run in style at Elland Road and
strengthened its title charge.
Martin Zubimendi, Viktor Gyokeres and Gabriel Jesus were all on target, and
Leeds goalkeeper Karl Darlow added an own goal.
Manchester City and Aston Villa can cut Arsenal's lead back to four points when
they play on Sunday.
Last-placed Wolverhampton lost for the 18th time this season, 2-0 at home to
Bournemouth.
Everton scored in the seventh minute of added time to draw at Brighton 1-1.
Chelsea was playing West Ham and defending champion Liverpool was hosting
Newcastle in the later kickoffs.
